Lyrics
Never Gonna Fall In Love Again
There’s really nothing more to say
I’ll get along without your kiss tonight
Just close the door and walk away
Never gonna fall in love again
I don’t want to start with someone new
‘Cause I couldn’t bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No, I never want to feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me
At first we thought that love was here to stay
The summer made it seem so right
But like the sun we watched it fade away
From morning into lonely night
Never gonna fall in love again
I don’t want to start with someone new
‘Cause I couldn’t bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No, I never want to feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me
